Introduction and General Notes

The following documents outline how Analytics support is built into our Zenpacks. If you see any errors, please contribute to these docs as needed.

Warning

The Analytics Server must have a valid DNS resolution of the Zenoss system that it collects from. This means that either 1) the DNS servers know about your Zenoss system or 2) the /etc/hosts on Analytics has an entry for your Zenoss system. Without this host resolution, collection will not take place.
